The Dower House is an exclusive private events venue set in the idyllic surroundings of the Chiltern Hills on the Hertfordshire & Bedfordshire border, and is ideal for small to medium size intimate weddings of up to 60 guests in the house or 120+ guests in a marquee or tipi.

If you are tired of impersonal hotel “production-line” weddings – which also cost a fortune – then taken a look at The Dower House ...

A good wedding has been said to have four essential elements: love; friends and family; a romantic location; and someone to make sure the whole thing runs smoothly.

At The Dower House, we let you bring the first two ingredients, and we are fantastic at providing the third and fourth!

The Dower House offers a unique setting, and the flexibility to have your own very personally unique and distinguished wedding reception.

We have preferred suppliers we can suggest who can be relied on to cater for all your dreams...you choose what you want, and therefore you control your budget. If you are looking for an individually unique wedding, we can make it happen! From cake to flowers, from photographer to live music of whatever kind you most enjoy -The Dower House can arrange everything for you - all against the backdrop of a stunningly romantic country house in the Chiltern Hills.

You will have exclusive use of the house, gardens, and ample parking. All your suppliers will have time to set up, while you’ll have plenty of time to relax with family and friends.

And if you or any of your party arrive feeling stressed... we have brilliant life coaches available to deal with that too!

Because our mission is simply to help you to have and enjoy the best day of your life.
